Wema Bank Bar Customers From Premises Over Ebola Scare

Financial Institution Wema bank just introduced a severe approach to operational procedure over fears of deadly disease, Ebola.

Even in the face of assertions of by the Federal Government that possible spread of the dreaded virus is under control, the bank has implemented a policy that forbids customers with symptoms of the dreaded ailment from its banking hall.

Here is a detailed report of this development as sourced.

Wema Bank has introduced self-dispensing hand sanitisers, and body temperature scanners at all its branches in the country in a move aimed at curtailing the spread of Ebola.

The bank is also introducing protective gears for members of its staffs especially those who deal directly with customers.
In a notice to customers released Monday, the bank said henceforth all customers and visitors to any branch of the bank would be required to use the hand sanitisers and be scanned for symptoms of fever before being admitted into their banking halls.

“In the wake of the recent Ebola Virus Disease outbreak across West Africa, we are compelled to introduce the following preventive health and safety initiatives at all our business locations in order to ensure a safe banking environment for all customers and staff,” the bank stated.

“All customers and visitors are required to use the hand sanitisers and also undergo a quick non-invasive body temperature scan before being allowed into our banking halls and business locations.

“In addition, some of our staff at the more sensitive desks will also be required to wear some protective gears while interacting with customers and other visitors during this period” the document added.

The bank did not say what provisions will be made for customers who are denied access due to their body temperature or other health concerns. The bank did not respond to PREMIUM TIMES’ inquiry Monday.

The federal Ministry of Health said it was not informed of the move, considered by some as discriminatory.

A health campaign organization, Projekthope, said the new policy is discriminatory.

“We should all learn to do things right. The presence of Ebola symptoms does not necessarily mean transmission will take place,” said Steve Aborisade, who heads Ibadan-based Projekthope. “And even if we want to be hyper proactive it should be sensitive in ways that will not be discriminatory and which actually stops transmission which is our first purpose.”

However, a medical expert said the bank should go beyond screening and make adequate referral arrangements for customers who may be turned away due to their health.

“I don’t think we should see it in the light of a discriminatory policy, I think they are just trying to act on the side of caution,” said Osahon Enabulele, the immediate past president of the Nigerian Medical Association, NMA.

“The end point should be to aid the referral of such an individual to the nearest health facility for appropriate treatment. And of course, I expect that they should have a medical unit in the bank to quickly evaluate clients that may have suspicious features to properly evaluate them and not just to turn them away,” Mr. Enabulele said.

AMCON Gets N10 billion judgement against Jorotom International, Threatens To Sell Off Company's Properties To Offset Debt

Jorotom International has been asked to pay the sum of N10,935,703,088.01 to the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON)by the Federal High Court in Lagos. Investigations

revealed that the judgement debt was in respect of the company’s indebtedness to AMCON following several cases of bad debts ramped up by Jorotom International.

It was gathered that Jorotom had taken up several regulatory agencies in the financial services sector following the classification of the numerous credit facilities it took from deposit money banks over the years as bad loans.

Digs further revealed that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had on November 21, 2012 published the names of high value debtors in Thisday newspapers, including Jorotom International and warned banks not to lend to the affected companies and Jorotom International.

Findings revealed that AMCON’s decisive steps to get the proceeds of the judgement debt against Jorotom International triggered panic in the medium sized company as its total capitalisation is less than N2 billion and would not be able to pay.

Besides, AMCON had threatened to seal up the company and begin the sale of the assets of Jorotom International, a measure that may lead to the death of the company in view of the harrowing and flat financial position of the company. It was gathered that profligacy and expenditures which are at variance with standard financial rules were at the heart of Jorotom’s financial predicament and accumulated debt profile of over N10 billion.

Abdullahi, the torchlight of the legacy of late man of wealth and islamic leader, Aare Arisekola Alao has dispelled the unflattering moniker widely attributed to him as 'a fraud subsidy fraudster' as untrue.

'The only subsidy money I received is incomplete (as in under paid) as stated by EFCC officer in court, that the government is yet to pay me completely what is due to my company.

A statement which made the Judge ask, who was subsidising who, My company subsidising the government or vice versa.'

The source however claims the wearer of his (Alao) father's shoes refrains from going about town seeking clarification for his role in the whole episode - in the face of backlash against his person - with the statement

' I will not go on and grant interviews to anyone as I accepted what happened to me as a test from Allah.'

Information made available further revealed the petroleum marketer equally  took to the sword reports he has made up with estranged wife, Tosin Sido.
